    1. It is getting there. Completely different along Cass Ave. and the immediate blocks to the east and west. Really transformed over the past 15 years.

      Though I was not alive in the 70s, many people that were, talk about how it’s changed. Most said they never thought they would see it, as that 2-3 mile strop was basically left for dead.

      However, the backdrop and reminders of its past are still present in some of the old time bars from back then that are still open and have seen some really bad times.

      But yes, kind of a hipster, college area now with new restaurants, trendy bars and new housing.

  1. “When they reopened that case, that’s when they found out how bad it had been,” he said. “The Corridor is kind of the backdrop to that case.”

    …actually, reopening the case didn’t reveal how bad it was; “THEY” already new how bad it had been there. But it was nothing more than an inconvenient and embarrassing truth and that it somehow, someway tie into the OCCK case. They had to ignore it and shove under the rug before the entire story and connection had gotten out.

    Can’t let the public know that “pristine” middle Oakland County would have ANYTHING to do with the Cass Corridor and that these people were going back and forth between these two worlds.
